Creating, creating, creating ...

How fun it is to create things. And even more fun to co-create things sometimes. I'm especially grateful that it's fun because I'm doing a LOT of it right now. Starting with a brand new, gorgeous business card. It just felt right to enter this new phase of my life journey with a new card. In fact, it's so much more than a new business card ... I discovered that I've just been "branded".

Thanks to my fabulous website designer (Amanda Michelson) and another fabulous graphic designer (Fiona Milis, of Fiona Milis Designs)I now have a "Brand" for Power of Wellness. It's those fabulous crashing waves, splashing various shades of aqua, blue and green and the "Power of Wellness" header with "Wellness" Script in background. I love it! Thank you Amanda and Fiona!!! Big time.

Yet there's so much more. We're creating gift certificates and bookmarks with the POW brand. Don't you think those crashing waves and aquas will look magical on a bookmark? You might stop reading and start gazing at the waves, seeing yourself on the beach, hearing the awesome sound of the wind and water and feeling refreshed! Then you could return to reading, feeling renewed. How great is that?

And I'm not stopping there! Indeed, there will be so much more creating. Starting this summer with an audio CD that you'll be able to download to your desktop, laptop or any portable media player ... making it a very "green" production which I'm so pleased about. I produced my first audio CD, entitled "Getting & Staying Inspired", a few years ago and really enjoyed the process (learned a lot too!). And I've wanted to create another for some time. And the time is now.

This audio CD will be chock full of Lee's best Wellness Tools and Inspiration for Health & Happiness. It'll be my spoken voice and about 7-10 clips that you'll be able to choose from, just like listening to your favorite songs. I'm going to include "Prosperity Affirmations", "Breathing for Health", "Prayer for the Now", and so much more. Fun, fun, fun.

People ask me when my book might be ready (I've had one in draft for about 2 years now ... and another 3-4 in my head) and I love that they ask. And yet, it's not the book that's calling me right now. It's definately another audio CD. So, I go with what feels GOOD right now. Thank you to the Universe for clear, clear guidance. Lovely, lovely clarity. This is especially valuable to me because I can really get a LOT of ideas and clarity helps me to relax and enjoy the ride. I know you get that.

That's it for now. Again and again, thanks for listening and sharing this ride with me. I feel your presence.

Hugs,

Lee

PS: I really appreciate the comments that some of you post. Thanks from me to you!

Speaking of Angels ...

Speaking of angels, I feel the need to say a huge “Thank you!” to the TR Program students and graduates who have truly blown me away with gifts for this journey. I’ve been absolutely overwhelmed with their generosity and constant gifts of encouragement, confidence and general “cheering on”!

Gifts from these angels came in so many additional forms! To name just a few ... one group of students gave me a gorgeous hand-painted “Dream Box” full of hand written messages from each of them – this morning I pulled out two of those messages. The first read “You are doing what you’re supposed to be doing ... so keep going” and the second read “Remember to take a few deep breathes and know that challenges build strengths”. I love each message – I love the fun of pulling them out of the box and being surprised. They are fuel for my soul.

Students have given me beautiful cards with long and heartfelt messages of encouragement and support. I was given several gas cards to fill the tank for my travels, and a very healthy gift certificate for my favourite bookstore, Banyon Books. This from students, who could use the money for other things, no doubt! They’ve also given me things like candles (to shine light on the path), and Happiness Angels (also to shine light on the path!). And so much more!

I’ve made a point of finding special places in my home for each gift because I want to feel the love! Regularly! Lucky, lucky me I think - to know these angels and to be surrounded with their good wishes and their wisdom all the time. I feel you all with me!

Just as important to me are the occasional emails from students or graduates of the program. They are short and sweet and they are more precious fuel for the soul ... “Hi Lee ... I’m thinking of you ... here’s what’s happening for me” How fabulous is that? Pretty fabulous let me tell you. Connections, connections, connections ... they sure are what matters most. It feels to me like the reason for everything. Please keep them coming – you lift my spirits and make me smile, big time, every time. You are the best!

With big love and big gratefulness,
Lee
